Artemis I launch scrubbed for the second time

(CNN) - "Launch Director Charlie Blackwell Thompson calling a scrub for the day here at the Kennedy Space Center Launch complex."

For a second time, NASA's Artemis I launch into space, is scrubbed. Hours before the anticipated launch, NASA crews hit with yet another delay.

A liquid hydrogen leak found in the 322-foot tall rocket caused a "No Go" recommendation. But on Friday, officials were confident about Saturday's launch attempt.

"We have convinced ourselves, without a shadow of a doubt, that we have good quality liquid hydrogen, um going through the engines, and there's there's no fuzz on that," Manager of Space Launch Systems (SLS) John Honeycutt spoke.

Following the announcement, NASA administrator Bill Nelson shared his thoughts about the mission, saying this is part of the space program to be ready for scrub.

"When it's ready, uh we don't go until then and especially now on a test flight because we are going to stress this and test it, and test that heat shield and make sure it's right before we put four humans up on the top of it."

That's one of the reasons for this principle mission.

It will be the start of a program that will aim to send humans back to the moon for the first time since 1972. NASA's other goal is to eventually send crews to Mars.

But for now, rocket fans will have to wait a third time to witness the start of a historic launch.
